some groups have not wanted to work with us. some groups are bigger than us. we might be stealing their intellectual property. we do not feel that way. we have openly shared the best practices. i think that having those tools is one part. having good people behind it is another. from year to year thinking through how of the event will sustain itself is important. frankly, i think that some of those events moved away because there were opportunities better than what san francisco was offering. we can talk to how -- talk about how to award events that are doing well. financially, etc. we should try to look at ways to reduce the costs. >> can i jump in? i did not mention that i was a deejay, because that is not newsworthy, but i am part of the team that puts that on. to clarify, we moved to oakland last year because we really did not feel welcome in san francisco. the hurdles put in front of us to do our event were so extensive, it became impossible to produce a successful the event. sadly, that happened again this year. hopefully we can come back next year. than

and each person uses an average of 100 gallons of water every day. man: what it takes to actually make clean water is somewhat a mystery to most customers. woman: so how does water get from the river into your house, or here at school? woman: somebody has to bring that water to us, and somebody has to take it away when we're finished with it. man: the water infrastructure is vital for disease protection, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development, and for our quality of life. man: you just can't visualize all the assets that are under our feet. we have about two million miles of pipe in this nation. if you're walking around in an urban area, you're probably stepping on a pipe. man: our grandparents paid for, and put in for the first time, these large distribution systems. woman: and in many cases, it's not been touched since. man: we're at a critical turning point. much of that infrastructure is wearing out. narrator: our water infrastructure is made up of complex, underground systems that function continuously. these 10 locations take a

how does that affect us? now, those of you who have read a little bit about natalie phillips' new work on jane austen, the brain, an english major looking into neuroscience, what she found is that the brain when it reads intensely -- what i call deep reading -- is, in fact, activating an extraordinary number of neurons. the realizing brain, however, can stop after 280 milliseconds and optionally give you a very nice but superficial surface reading. the ability to read in a deep fashion, to think about inference, to think about the print, to go beyond the tech to our own insights, this requires not only extra milliseconds in that a brain, but it requires years of concentrated thinking and comprehensive skills -- comprehension skills. my major worry is that as we move into this medium, we are going to be changing the circuit in ways that we do not at this moment understand. we are lurching at this moment in the textbook industry towards digitizing everything without the evidence to say this is right for this ti
